INDICATOR DEFINITION

This indicator measures the proportion of countries where WFP emergency assistance has contributed to maintaining or improving household food consumption levels, as assessed through the Food Consumption Score (FCS). The FCS serves as a proxy for households’ food intake or caloric consumption.

MANDATORY COUNTRY-LEVEL INDICATORS & INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR APR AGGREGATION

Mandatory Country level Indicator(s) composing the corporate indicator:

• 1. Food Consumption Score (FCS)

Inclusion criteria for Mandatory Country Level Indicator(s):

The mandatory country level indicator is included in the aggregation of the corporate indicator under SO.1 only if all the following conditions are met

• The indicator is selected in CSP logframes under SO.1 against GD, FFA and FFT sub-activities.

• Only reporting combinations that have a yearly target, baseline and a follow-up value reported, will inform global aggregation.

CALCULATION & AGGREGATION
METHODOLOGY

This indicator is derived from the aggregation of the country-level indicator. To calculate this indicator, use the following steps:

• For each country, this indicator compares the percentage of WFP-assisted households with poor and borderline food consumption (based on the Food Consumption Score) between two time points (e.g. Baseline and most recent Follow-up values). If this percentage has decreased or remained stable, the country is considered to have improved or maintained its food consumption.

• If multiple activities are implemented under SO.1, only the value of the biggest activity with the highest number of beneficiaries is considered.

• The indicator is then calculated as the proportion of such countries out of the total number of countries reporting on FCS data. This proportion is expressed as a percentage.

Note: The objective is to reduce the proportion of households using Poor or Borderline consumption. However, changes should be assessed not only by the overall Poor + Borderline prevalence but also by movements between FCS categories. In the follow-up values, if the proportion of households shifting from Borderline to Poor consumption is greater than the observed reduction in the Poor + Borderline population, the result should be classified as a deterioration and not counted in the numerator, as it reflects a worsening in the severity of consumption despite any apparent overall improvement.
